this is my 7mag. It's right at 9-9.5 lbs. carbon stock, Remington action and bottom metal, fluted bolt, criterion magnum sporter contour, muzzle break, Trijicon 4-16x50 scope.

Very nice, glad to see the bolt on the correct side of the rifle.

Would you mind showing me what the muzzle diameter looks like on your barrel? Preferable brake removed. I'm debating if I want that contour or slightly thinner. Also, how long is your barrel?

I'm not home currently will be this weekend early next week. But it's a northland shooter supply criterion prefit 26" barrel.

I'd love to see some lightweight-medium weight Magnum builds you guys have done. Preferably hunting rifles. I've wanted a 7mm Rem Mag for years. I can't tell you why I want that specific cartridge, but my gut won't let me not have it. I hunt eastern Pa where the deer and bear don't need much more punch than my .270 can dish. I'm debating putting a 7mm Mag together from Savage parts this winter to satisfy my craving, but I want it to be practical for my hunting; not overbearing to carry (sub 10lbs scoped), probably heavy sporter weight barrel in the 24-26" category, braked. I want to be able to put it over my shoulder and walk around these tall hills looking for new vantage points. And should a shot at 500-700 present itself, cleanly and confidently take it. My .270win is capable of doing that now, but the 7mm will also be my primary bear rifle, and I want the stopping power that caliber provides.

I have a 338 Win. Mag. with scope and bi-pod just a tick under 10 lbs. Throwing 225 Barnes out of a 20" tube at 2700 f.p.s. good to about 600 yards for Elk and should work for Moose as well.
I have a Savage in 7 mm Mag at just under 9 lbs. with a 24" pencil barrel throwing 160 grain AccuBond at 2900 f.p.s. good to about 600 yards for Elk and may work on Moose, tho I have never hunted a moose.
